Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1491325 Title: nova api v2.1 does not allow to use autodetection of volume device path Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): In Progress Status in python-novaclient: Fix Released Bug description: Using API v2.1 we are forced to provide device path attaching a volume to an instance. using API v2.0 it allowed to provide 'auto' and in this case Nova calculated it by itself. It is very useful when we do not care about exact device path. using APi v2.1 Nova, at first verifies request body [1] and only then have logic to autodetect "device path". So, either autodetect is dead code now or request validation should be changed. For the moment, this bug is blocker for Manila project. We get one of two errors: Returning 400 to user: Invalid input for field/attribute device. Value: None. None is not of type 'string' __call__ or Returning 400 to user: Invalid input for field/attribute device. Value: auto. u'auto' does not match '(^/dev/x{0,1}[a-z]{0,1}d{0,1})([a-z]+)[0-9]*$' Where Nova client says explicitly: $ nova help volume-attach usage: nova volume-attach <server> <volume> [<device>] Attach a volume to a server. Positional arguments: <server> Name or ID of server. <volume> ID of the volume to attach. <device> Name of the device e.g. /dev/vdb. Use "auto" for autoassign (if supported) That "device" is optional and can be set to 'auto'.
